'In the room where it happened,’ Hope Hicks’ testimony ‘puts you there’
#Trump #HopeHicks #Trial
"Deny, deny, deny" No sympathy from me. She's just as dirty.
Seriously? I don't want to hear Hope Hicks whining. She knew what trump is and she was fine with covering it up.
Hope Hicks knew donald trump was a snake he invited her in✋🏾🙄
Well, first of all you work for him so sometimes we keep shut because there are bosses and we want to keep our jobs . She didn’t know that this was gonna blow up in his face because he put it off all those years. He could’ve just said he was guilty years ago and paid a fine and moved on with his life, but he chose this way and now he’s paying the price.
Just like Jenna Ellis, with her crocodile tears.
Spread Eagle Hicks wasn't hired by Donald for her legal skills, but her oral skills
Wow, are we really living this mess with trump being on trail. This is mind blowing, that he is able to run for president. 91 charges total in 4 states. We living in some scary time, that the Republicans party can support a man like this and let's not forget the fans base who still think he will be a good president. 😮
Agreed.
She was there for nearly every criminal moment. She knew what he did and what he was, and she was okay with it. She helped it all work, but now she's a 'victim'.
she was your star witness I thought?
@@Pow_FIsh You thought? Call your mom and give her the good news.
@@joeofoysterbay7197 LOL already forgot the new cycle from yesterday lolol
Trump: never met her… dunno her… met her once.
That’s what people are saying. Bigly
Said with the accordeon hands - so you KNOW for a fact that he's lying - again.
@@ecurewitz And with tears in their eyes lol
Yep, his common mantra - I guess the dementia is kicking in

At the time, it was reported, she was among a few who recommended that Trump give a speech in from of a close by Episcopal church…the one where Trump held a Bible upside down. Those who were protesting nearby were tear gassed to clear the way for Trump.
The girl who was on audio whining about how this would all negatively affect her ability to get a job after trump lost!
She was completely unqualified to give a president advice on anything.
Opinion is the word.
He wasn't a president though. Just a garden variety con man.
Oh, maybe fashion news! He's all about that! Likes to inspect beauty contestant dressing rooms personally, or so he says!
However, i wonder what she give Trump behind closed doors.
@@maryegarcia2432 And who do we get with Biden Sam Brinton, and Rachel Levine. LMFAOP
Sorry, Hope. If you're being paid by the taxpayers then you have to answer to the taxpayers.
Yes
I Hope you get your Hope up high because the crash is crazy!
Hope nailed Trump. She told them they talked about Cohen paying the hush money.
He will still get our vote. This whole trial stuff makes the average American like him more. Because we've been mistreated by the justice system a s well...
How could she ever support the orange traitor?
She is more important than Michael. She places him at every corner of the argument.
Cohen will be the downfall of this case.
She literally just destroyed the Prosecutors Case and it was amazing 😂😂😂
@@Cornpop-N-DaBoyz The prosecution will have built up their case before they call Cohen ..if they do call Cohen. They may not need to call Cohen with the other witnesses they have and the documents they have
@@robertallred4515 WHAT? What did she say?
@@robertallred4515what happened?
I love how a young woman who is dedicated to her older (man) boss, and her job is referred to as "like a daughter to him." If she was 40 or 50, would it be "like a mother to him?"
Like an old maid auntie?
Women are just objects to him. He likes the young, shiny ones to look at and touch as he pleases. No regard for them as people with feelings.
"He loved her like a daughter " sounds menacing in this context
That's a moot point. 😊
@@jaredarndts6123what’s so moot about it
Like 'Ol Joe with his daughter or his nanny?
@@mbt1955 NICE deflection! I hope it works for ya.
Sounds like he cared for her. How is that menacing
Amazing that one person, Donnie, committed so many crimes and shuttered so many businesses and violated thousands of people's safety and security, it is hard to accept. The facts are coming out that validate all of this, and yes, Donnie did all of this and GOT AWAY with it for DECADES, playing the Justice system, and he is still playing it.
Seek counseling weirdo
Amazing that had he left the political scene after the 2020 election, none of these kangaroo courts would’ve happened. Dude is a fighter though and might be the president again.
What was the crime in this case, seems nobody knows. Even Bragg since he didn't specify it in the indictment.

It's all an act ,portraying himself as family man.
check out that diary of Ashley Biden! dont say it's not real... because it is.
Not a very good act either.
well we know what he said about Ivanka....
The sad part about the video, the young Lady that walked up to the bus had NO idea what Trump had just said to Billy!!!!!!!
Oh, women in that industry know what they're getting into. The 'casting couch' has been a vile aspect of show biz for a long time and needs to be punished more often. Pretty sure Harvey Weinstein ain't the only predator in Hollywood.
I wonder if she ever found out the hard way. I hope not
oh - she KNEW --- everyone knew what a slime hounddog he was.
@@jackrice2770 EXACTLY
LOL if you truly think that Trump is the only guy that talks that way before an attractive woman walks up to him you really haven’t lived a minute in the real world 🤣🤣🤣 As a man, I’ve heard both liberal men and conservative men talk that way in social situations right as a pretty woman walks up. Dudes being dudes is nonpartisan. We like what we like!
Hope Hicks is like Trump’s daughter? Are you kidding me?
And you love Michael Cohen. Dohhhhh!
@@ClassicFIHD What leads you to that conclusion, friend?
Hope testifies that DT was “very hands on.” Of course he was.
Well, she didn't lie there, did she????
😳😬🤢🤮😹😹😹
That would be biden who showers with his granddaughter, when he's not stroking and smelling little girls hair, or having little boys stroke the hair on his legs, so he can boast about how it makes the hair stand up. FACTS MATTER!
Yes but does he sniff hair?
She also testified that Trump wanted to squash the story because he was afraid it would hurt Melania. That destroyed the Prosecutors Case because they said he did it to interfere in an election 😂😂
Will Trump ever go away 😤🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮 we have had enough.
NOPE!!!!! MORE TRUMP EVERY SINGLE DAY ON MSNBC THE TRUMP NETWORK!!!!!!
Get away from MSNBC and your problems solved.
Trump isn't going anywhere but straight to the White House .

I thought we made that clear when we overwhelmingly voted Joe Biden in. Guess not.
As a Canadian I try to understand the fall of democracy in the USA. The legal system has shown that he is above the law. Why?
Why do you say that? Do you have any examples of the "legal system being above the law"?
The legal system has proved it is a Kangaroo Court, and tha in itself is the fall of democracy. Just ask Vlad!

Hicks was a teenage model, before she become Trump’s senior aide . Does that mean something?!
It means that we should start caring about that the minute Biden is charged with molesting his young daughter in the shower
Duh

Hope Hicks /Donald Trump's relationship was more than a boss/ employee relationship more than hero worship and she had expectations and he broke her heart. We witnessed it today with both of them. She cried and he would not look at her directly.
I'm guessing that their relationship was not purely professional and that she will be less than 100 percent factual in her testimony.
its a sham trial anyway.
If she perjures herself she can look forward to the same result other Trump perjurers have received. She'll not like women's prison much.
@@jackrice2770 Quite right. Her perjury would not be treated lightly.
..and from what Jr Miss pageant did he harvest her..?
Wait. Is that a dis on her or on him? I'm confused.
“She doesn’t want to be there???”….sad movies lady, you are not above the law
She should talk to Stormy and find out how to break into “the business”😂😂
0 credibility
Hope is a beautiful woman. That's why Trump wanted her so close for so long.
"...president trusted her so much is because she is someone who is not believed to have any agenda, that her advice was usually just the advice in the former president's best interest or trying to accommodate whatever his desires were..." That statement burnt my ears. There was no good reason for him to say it like that, leaving the impression that she was more than just an advisor. But, sometimes more can be made of a statement than what it's worth.
She’s the most credible witness. Now let’s show the paper trails!
OMG she was alone on campaign with him. I sure he was very hands on with her.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
You can blame him. Have you seen her nude pictures on the Internet?
Ew
Did it involve a White House intern or just a cigar?
@@mbt1955 😬🫣
All talk and still no jail time for Trump.
Jail time for what exactly?
Yeah...that usually comes after he'd found guilty. First the trial, then the verdict and lastly sentencing. Don't put your cart before the horse.
@@larindanomikosthey’ve been doing that since 2015. Don’t expect it to stop anytime soon.
Hicks is one of the few if not the only Dump employee that walked away without having a big falling out with him or ending up in prison.
IMO, DT loves having HOT younger women around him. That is why he kept Hick by his side. Doubtful he took any of her advice. She appears to be smart and professionally ambisous, so she likely had boundaries she would not cross and one of the few people who understood DT well enough to communicate with him in ways that fed his narcissism while maintaining boundaries that would keep her out of trouble.
Hope was in charge of diaper Administration ordering depends in Pampers and wet wipes as well as overseeing the installation of the changing table In The West Wing when required she occasionally actually did the diaper changing of trump as well as using wet wipes
“We were like, totally talking and stuff- and like OH MA GAWD!!! Then he was like… and I was like… and we were like… “
Why doesn’t Mitchell report Hick’s quit the day after she spoke to Jan 6 investigators?
How people can manage to so completely and so tragically lose every bit of perspective on just what it is they're actually doing with their lives is fascinating to me. Hope Hicks probably hasn't the slightest conception of the plain fact that she managed to work her way up, and up, and up, until she reached this pinnacle of status (or so she thought), when, in fact, she ended up assisting a wretched loathsome freak predator who never saw an evil opportunity he didn't take with sheer joy, and who absolutely lives to demonstrate that he can and will do anything he likes-- and the more forbidden something is, the more likely he is to do it. Status, huh? How does this happen to someone?
I hope her testimony helps to get him found guilty because he is guilty. TRUMP FOR JAIL HOUSE 2024 AND BIDEN FOR WHITE HOUSE 2024!
I know this is a joke right

She said she have not been in contact... she is a liar!!

I can hardly wait for Trump's promised tariffs to kick in, and tax cuts for millionaires, for you to see how high prices can go. And all Trump needs is another 45% reduction in gasoline consumption (as in 2020) to reduce the cost of gasoline. But which is your favorite Trump scam?

You may hope, but this gal is no innocent. She has a PR firm helping preserve her reputation and what good would it do to speak the entire truth? She does not want to become a target of MAGA, and she has a long life ahead. She will craft her responses to say absolutely nothing. She has skin in the game and is in self-preservation mode.
